Cindy’s look gets a boost from a few unexpected elements, including stripe-embellished jeans and an embroidered topper. While we love the satin-like sheen of her black jacket, we’re also partial to this faux suede iteration from Le Chateau. Featuring a flattering, earthy shade and embroidered flower detailing down the sleeve, it’s a springtime closet staple that’s anything but basic.

The blouse

A classic white cotton top is a versatile piece that works well for work days and weekends away. That’s why we’re big fans of stocking up on a few new takes on the timeless top each season. This cotton Swiss-dot top from Joe Fresh, much like Cindy’s eyelet-print version, adds a touch of visual interest to a simple jeans-and-blouse pairing. Plus, the slight peplum frill at the bottom of this top adds a playful twist.

The jeans

Spring is the season to lighten up and take a few chances when it comes to fashion. And one of the best places to start is with your denim drawer. Whether you opt for a racing stripe-inspired style like the ones Cindy wears here, or something a little more patchwork-inspired such as these contrast jeans with a ripped hem from Zara, consider stepping out in a pair of baby blues that embrace both a lighter hue — and an unconventional surface treatment or embellishment.
